Be it known that I, ANNIE MAHER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, State of Lou isiana, have invented a new and useful composition of matter to be used as a cleanser and polish for furniture or any other article having a painted or varnished surface, of which the following is a specification.

My composition consists of the following ingredients,combin'ed in the proportions stated, viz: aqua-ammonia, 20 Baum, containing about seventeen per cent. gas, one ounce; raw linseed-oil, three ounces; boiled linseedoil, one ounce. When the three above ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, add pure rain-water, two ounces; American vinegar, three ounces. These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation.
